MORI SEIKI SL-204MC CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC turning center features an 8.0-inch chuck and a 2.5-inch bar capacity, supporting robust workpiece handling for a wide range of turning applications. Designed with four axes, it enables complex machining operations including turning, milling, drilling, and tapping, with live tooling capability for secondary operations without part repositioning. The machine delivers 20.0 HP of power and achieves a maximum spindle speed of 4,500 RPM, ensuring high productivity and precision for both light and heavy-duty cutting tasks. With a maximum turning diameter of 15.3 inches and a swing of 26.8 inches, it accommodates medium-sized parts efficiently, while the 24.3-inch machining length provides ample travel for extended workpieces. The inclusion of a tailstock enhances support for longer parts, improving accuracy and rigidity during machining. The machine is equipped with a CNC control system (MSG-503), offering intuitive programming and reliable operation. Weighing 9,460 lbs, the unit provides a stable platform for vibration-free machining, contributing to superior surface finishes and part consistency. The absence of a sub-spindle makes it ideal for applications where secondary operations are performed using live tooling rather than part transfer. This turning center is well-suited for shops requiring versatile, high-precision machining with the flexibility to handle a broad spectrum of part geometries and materials.
